In my opinion, this was the most yawn-inducing Apple event yet, and I thought last year's couldn't be topped.
Is all this this really the best we can create? A shared port standard, a button, a yet-again better camera? Anything else? No new touch surfaces, haptics, sensors; no new hardware capabilities other than yet-again faster chip.
Software enhancements are magical, no argument. But this is the chance for Apple to show why their hardware is unique. Others play with form (fold! twist! spindle!) or maybe design, but Apple chose this time to make the big lead be the port they were forced to use.
I was disappointed. But perhaps my expectations are reality-distorted still.
